Mastering

We provide mastering for recording artists who have completed a recording and want to take it to the next level. This service, however, is NOT limited to just artists. We can also provide this service to choreographers and dancers as well. Do you have a mix that is uneven and lacks punch? Let us master it for you. Just send an email to mixes@studioratmusic.com to get the process started.

What is audio mastering?

Audio mastering is the art of enhancing audio mixes so that they can compete with today's commercial releases. Audio mastering is the final process before sending your CD off to a CD pressing plant. Ever wonder why you can't get your mixes to sound like the CDs or downloads you have purchased? Mastering your songs will take them to that level. Because songs are mixed separately, many will have different frequency spectra and peak levels. Through the right equalization and compression, these differences can be rectified, so that the ear is not subjected to any changes between song transitions. The song order can be finalized, any silence between songs can be adjusted, and songs can be overlapped, if desired. Sections of a song can be cut if it is determined a song is too long, and any noise between tracks can be reduced.
